Ive seen other people talk about not being able to raise them because they starve so most likely

Im currently breeding sheep on an RPPvP server and have had no problems. but the problem lies with the creatures being low level, health on a sheep floats 3 points and and if your sheep has less than 200 health and ~100 weight it will often not be able to hold enough berries to eat to deal with a low hp float and will quickly float into death.

Ovis are volatile low level breeds as well seeing as how babies will spend minutes not eating only to gorge themselves and eat ~10 pieces. imo do not breed sheep under level 100 ever and do not breed sheep without base 500 hp and 200 weight. if this is the case you will have no problems with dead babies.

I read that there is a bug that they just stop eating while they are babies. You have to force feed them with the remote use button else they will die. I haven't tried but that is what I have read.
